This project will produce a catalogue of all British town maps from the earliest in
the fifteenth century through to the 1890s by which time the Ordance Survey had
mapped all British towns at a large-scale. The catalogue describes the
cartographic characteristics of each map, includes a map indicating the area
covered by each map, and lists its topographic and other contents. The catalogue
will be accompanied by a descriptive and analytical monograph on the history of
British urban mapping.
